A sad truth for shopping lovers is that everything is tooooo expensive in Singapore. I will be definitely not surprised when you get back home with nothing except from some small cheap things after a shopping day. If you are looking for a place to spend your hard earned money, this article with the top cheapest shopping places will brighten your day

1. Scape

To lead the list, Scape is what you shouldn't miss for unique items at inexpensive cost. In the past, the weekend flea market was held here before moving to Lucky plaza but Scape is not only about the flea market, it offers a wide range of clothing, accessory and make-up from fashion bloggers. Don't be surprised if you find some dresses with the price tag 30 to 40 % cheaper than they are on websites.

The best about that is the Scape underground with even cheaper thrills. It's a small heaven for shopping hikers.

2. Thrift stores

“There is an award at the end of road” is surely a quote for your shopping journey at Thrift stores.

Why?

Because this place is not where you can shout out immediately: “yeahhh, it’s what I’m looking for!”. Ok, you can but later  At thrift stores, you will need patience, passion and time. After a little bit time, your eyes will lighten up discovering a hidden gem in the racks of slightly grotty clothing. I had felt in love with Thrift stores after I bought a dress and necklace at only 4 sgd. I know… sooooo cheap, right?

3. Flea market

At flea market, it’s pretty much easier to win ayour shopping day with some brand clothing as Zara or Topshop from the teenage sellers who build their business from old clothing for extra pocket money.

4. Sungei Road thieve's market

The name says it all. In the past, this market is where the thieves sell their stolen goods. Now, the market is still available but not in that form anymore. This local market will budget-friendly products speak for itself.

Located in the center, Bugis street draw a huge attention from shopaholics. Come back with Bugis street, this is one of the most hustling shopping spots in Singapore. A number of hawkers offer a large choice of everything from fashion to cuisine. Not only the local but also tourists do visit the market to shop for souvenirs, cheap clothing, personal goods and FOOD.
One more reason to love Bugis street is that it’s opposite the Bugis junction where I can get inside for a more refreshing atmosphere and fun window shopping.

6. Lucky plaza

For shopping inspiration or a few hard-earned day dreams, Lucky plaza is your place. Under the same roof, there are hundreds of stores sell their things at incredible price. My favourite here is chocolate when I can buy as many as chocolate I want with the cheapest price ever, just about 2 sgd for 2 packages of chocolate. And… the taste? It’s sooooo good.
A good news is… both food and fashion are cheap here. With an ideal location near Orchard, Lucky plaza is truly a hub for all shopaholics.

Different from other places, City plaza is a wholesale market where many bloggers get here everyday to grab their things for sale online. With city plaza, you now no need to look up the references from those online bloggers. Go with a group of friends, make your way to City plaza and buy as much as you can. City plaza offers incredibly good value-for-money objects.

9. Anchorpoint

Anchorpoint brings to you a wide array of affordable stuff, especially brand products as Cotton on, Charlies and Keith. Products of the past season is sold at 30 up to 70% discount compared with the original price. This means you just need to look further to find a best deal as you can be confused of so many choices at that incredible price.

At Anchorpoint, you will be not fighting for air space amid massive crowds in flea market or Bugis street. Sunglasses and shoes from Charles and Keith are what I prefer to buy in Anchorpoint.

10. The Editor's market

The Editor’s market is where both men and women go for trendy, budget-friendly clothes and accessories. This chic shopping spot of some top designers emerged as the most stylish of the non-brand boutique clothing.

When it comes to fashion, The Editor’s market is where you can’t mess around. It’s hardly to find something you don’t like in this paradise. No matter how many times I get here, there is always something waiting for me to splash money.
